Day After Thanksgiving Salad Recipe


I originally developed this recipe as a way to use Thanksgiving leftovers. But it's such a hit, I make it throughout the year.


 Quick


TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
MAKES: 5 servings


Ingredients

 1 tablespoon butter
  3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  1 tablespoon sugar
  1 package (8 ounces) ready-to-serve salad greens
  3 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
  1 small red onion, sliced
  1 medium sweet yellow pepper, sliced
  1 cup grape tomatoes
  1 cup chow mein noodles
  3/4 cup jellied cranberry sauce
  3 tablespoons seedless raspberry preserves
  2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  4-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  1 tablespoon water


Directions

In a small heavy skillet, melt butter. Add walnuts; cook over medium heat until toasted, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar. Cook and stir for 2-4 minutes or until sugar is melted. Spread on foil to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, turkey, onion, yellow pepper, tomatoes, chow mein noodles and sugared walnuts. In a blender, combine the remaining ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Yield: 5 servings.
